Jan 1, 2018
This animal study exposed 14-month-old C57BL/6 mice to 1950 MHz RF-EMF (SAR 5 W/kg) for 8 months. The authors report that aging was associated with increased oxidative damage, DNA damage, apoptosis, and glial activation markers in brain tissue. Long-term RF-EMF exposure did not change these markers in aged mice and…
A Single Exposure to GSM-1800 MHz Signals in the Course of an Acute Neuroinflammatory Reaction can Alter Neuronal Responses and Microglial Morphology in the Rat Primary Auditory Cortex.

This animal study examined whether acute GSM-1800 MHz exposure affects the auditory cortex during experimentally induced neuroinflammation. In LPS-treated rats, a single 2-hour head-only exposure (average SAR 1.55 W/kg in auditory cortex) was associated with altered microglial morphology and reduced neuronal activity…

Jan 1, 2015
This animal study evaluated repeated 1800 MHz EMF exposure (5 × 15 minutes) on lipid peroxidation (MDA) in Wistar rats, including healthy animals and those with CFA-induced inflammation, with and without tramadol. The authors report slightly elevated MDA in blood, brain, and kidneys in EMF-exposed conditions,…
Electromagnetic fields counteract IL-1β activity during chondrogenesis of bovine mesenchymal stem cells.

Jan 1, 2015
This in vitro study examined whether electromagnetic fields (EMFs) influence chondrogenic differentiation of bovine mesenchymal stem cell pellets, with and without the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. The authors report EMFs had limited effects on chondrogenesis in the absence of inflammation, but in the presence of…

Jan 1, 2012
This animal study exposed male Fischer-344 rats to 900 MHz or 1800 MHz microwave radiation for 30 days (2 h/day) and compared outcomes to sham exposure. The authors report significant cognitive impairment along with increased oxidative stress in brain tissue in exposed rats. They also report increased inflammatory…
Low-frequency electromagnetic fields do not alter responses of inflammatory genes and proteins in human monocytes and immune cell lines.

Jan 1, 2012
This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (a complex multiple waveform field and a 50 Hz sine wave) alter inflammatory gene and protein responses in human immune cells. Across time course experiments in THP-1 cells and primary monocytes/macrophages, the authors report no significant…
